Moses asserted Jews had been "promised" Israel.
On that premise, he left Egypt and actually, successfully, it seems to many, invaded Israel or Canaan.
The promise and invasion of Israel, next, was just the first part of a larger promise. That they should eventually fight and conquer the whole "world," and all "nations," and all the "earth."
Some argue that Christianity fulfilled this promise, by winning WW II. And in effect controlling the whole world, at least loosely.
In any case, these alarming, violent directives have already been partially acted on. And the larger program is still on the books; partly motivating some conservatives' violently imperialistic wars.
